As Lonni pointed out, you need to set up your
DNS ip's in XP. If you don't, your XP boxes will
never traverse outside your internal home network, and
out onto the internet.
I think if your user setting has the rights, you can
adjust the settings for the NIC via...
Start ==> My Network Places ==> Nic Device
Advanced Settings => DNS settings.
{ something like that... doing it from memory, don't
run any MS anymore here... }
I'd review your /etc/resolv.conf file, and glean the
IP's for XP box for what to fill in. Looks like
you'll need a pencil and paper, since the computers
are on different floors.
HTH,
